Cons:
"Devilled whitebait to start - terrible! No Devilled flavour at all."
"What has happened to this place, five years ago, was the place to go for good quality home cooked food at competitive prices, now you seem to get small posh restaurant style portions with the quality of a weatherspoons for the price of a high class celebrity restaurant."
"Burger slightly over cooked but starving by this point."
"It's such a shame the food is beyond poor. Considering its such a lovely pub."
"Food was okay but for the prices not what I'd expect."

Ambiance and Atmosphere

"Onion rings were greasy & actually, inedible."
"Really disappointed after giving them a 2nd chance following a change of management."
"Dry horrible chips, rock hard overcooked batter on the fish."

"Top quality food and at a reasonable price."
"All the food was fantastic."
"Would definitely recommend and will visit again if we're ever back in the area."
"The staff are particularly friendly and helpful and the beer is always tasty and well kept."
"Another local gem for great food and a coffee instead of using the trunk road services, just slightly off the main roads."

"Lovely country pub. Extensive range of food including many traditional meals. Good portion size. Good value for money."
Cons:
"Wouldn’t recommend or re-visit. Very disappointing, as we attended for a special birthday & felt it was ruined."
"Over £16 for a small roll with a little grated cheese, lettuce and a tomato, apparently there was no pickle available!!! And a non alcoholic drink. Absolutely ridiculous."
"Looking at the menu the prices were too high for what we received."
"£12.50 for egg and chips was pretty overpriced."
"Sorry to say the Lime Kiln has become very average."
"At £16 I expected better, the mezza starter £13 just a rip off!"
"Food was okay, nothing special & not worth the fancy price."
